TextAloud 4.0.29 Cant save Audio

Post by Briwinter2901 »

I have the above version of TextAloud. It seems that the ability to save text as audio files has disappeared. Any ideas as to why please?

TextAloud 4 can save audio files. You should have two dropdown buttons available on your toolbar, Speak and To File, next to each other. The dropdown menus allow you to configure where you want speaking to start, and in multi article / batch modes, whether speaking should continue to the next article.

If for some reason the "To File" button is not visible, right click your toolbar and in the popup menu displayed, make sure "To File" is selected.

There are also "To File" menu entries under the Speak menu. So to speak the current article to an audio file, you can select Speak -> Speak From Start of Current Article To File"

Let me know if this doesn't help

Oh dear, somehow, the Speak To File icon must have got hidden. What you have advised me has been very helpful and has solved the problem that I was having. Thank you for taking the time to respond to my question.
